Lance Stephenson turned down a five-year, $44 million contract with the Indiana Pacers and instead decided to leave and sign with the Charlotte Hornets on a three-year, $27.4 million contract.  Before he agreed to the deal he had a meeting the night before with the Hornets coach Steve Clifford and the infamous owner Michael Jordan.  During that time Jordan told Stephenson that he expects him to “calm down” his on-court antics next season. The Hornets see Stephenson’s infamous ear-blowing incident with LeBron James as a by-product of his competitive demeanor, but expect him to mature his behavior.
